A Progressive’s View

The “lock-down” of the U.S. economy was too late, and the opening of the marketplace is too early. I know this as a fact because, with confidence, I can, on Monday, name the winner of Sunday’s game. It follows, therefore, that I, along with other contrarians and hypocrites, can, freely (meaning with no penalty) comment on Trump’s mistakes. As astute politicians of longstanding experience, we, as with our leaders Pelosi and Schumer, do not offer counter-proposals, nor do we suggest or advise.

I have numerous allies and confederates that will never accept the apparent reality that Donald J. Trump is the ‘legitimate’ President of the United States. Therefore, as a citizen, a graduate of Harvard and Yale, an officer of the court, a member of the millionaires club, a lifelong liberal progressive, and personal friend of former President Obama, it’s evident that I and my compatriots’, in general, know what’s best.

The goal is to defeat Trump. The “how” is not bound by laws statutory or moral. To save the nation from another four years of Trump may require the employment of means extralegal even illegal. Did not patriots dump English tea into the bay? Was that not an unlawful act? As with the Bostonian patriots of 1773, the deed as an expression of recourse served its purpose.

We Democrats must win (in the next election) congress and the White House, compared to the importance of the win the how is of theoretical concern. The concentration for voter turnout in Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, is half the battle. The critical premise is that we progressives understand the will of the people better than the people. Such our understanding of what the people really requires automates the justification of any action that rids the country of Trump. How we win is unimportant.

Therefore, since egalitarian principles, socioeconomic, and ethnic righteousness guide our actions, we progressives are above the chaos created by the present order.

Remember, the objective is to eliminate Trump as a viable candidate for 2020. Consequently, there can be no violation of any law in the unseating of Trump. The god of progressivism wills it.
